I got caught by the hole a few years back,rang about getting prices on getting my driveway done in tarmac,,now as ou might guess Id never entertain certain individuals on my property,so i picked and chose who might and might not be a dodgy one...in the end i rand 3,and they all called to the house,all were very respectable and well proven firms(or so i believed) that let me see their previous work..so with one man I made the deal,i stuck tightly to the deal....no payment till the cessation of the work and then I would pay on the day the full ammount...so we shook hands and the deal was struck,
